Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)

I am not. That is what the Bill is all about and Government Members can go to their constituencies and explain what the regulations will mean financially and in terms of non-compliance.

Let us look at the two scenarios brought forward by the Minister in terms of maintenance and servicing standards. He would have everyone believe there is an easy way, that we can bring forward his guidelines. He does not work in the EPA; he is the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. The EPA has adopted a code of practice that is to be implemented by all local authorities. Under the directive for which the European Union is looking and which An Taisce is getting ready to monitor, if the Minister does not put in place sufficient standards, the matter will be referred back to the Commission and Ireland will before the European Court again. It is fair enough for the Minister to say there is an easy way, but he has not told us what it is or what the standards will be. Will he adopt the 2010 EPA guidelines?
